I'm sure they did. If you want a fairly good indicator of just how quick the LJ XU1 actually was, see if you can find any footage of the 1972 Bathurst race on Youtube or similar. It was an outstanding race, and the XU1's crowning moment. -- Regards, Noddy.

Like you I thought it drove very well and a lot better to drive than any Falcon or Holden of the same era but they certainly weren't without faults:-) My biggest hate with them was the horrible inner drive shaft uni, IMO an absolute PITA to replace and they needed replacing too frequently. My favourite pommy car was a Mk1 GT Cortina, I wish I still had it, by today's standards it was pretty ordinary but I loved it. Daryl |
